Meet Little Betty and Wilma. Little Betty is our new Australien friend designed by the talented Suz/Sewpony and I'm proud to be invited on the Little Betty Top Tour.The Little Betty is originally a top but I've turned her a little dress which was very easily done. This is what Suz writes about the pattern:The Little Betty top is a 1970's inspired knit design that has three views: Long sleeved, short sleeved and sleeveless. It features wide banding and a gathered frill over the bodice. It closes with a button and loop closure at the centre back.The 25 page PDF file is priced at $8 AUD and includes:

Sizses from 6 months to 8 years

Annotated and clear photographs for each step

Seam allowances included

All measurements in imperial and metric

Measurement charts

Fabric requirements and recommendations

Tips for sewing with knits

Colour coded easy to assemble pattern pieces

As stated above I turned little Betty into a dress with a bit narrower 3/4 sleeves. I also omitted the centre back closure and made Wilma a pull over version. To do that I moved the frills 1,3 cm towards the shoulders and widened the neck opening a bit. That's it.

And, it wasn't until I shot the photos of the back I realized that Wilma was wearing the dress backwards hence the little deeper back neck opening ;-)! On the two last photos she's wearing the dress as it's supposed to be worn!

Thank you so much for inviting me, Suz. We adore this pattern. (Even the teen sister thinks the dress is cool....on Wilma ;-)
